Global Infrastructure SherpaLEGO Group to develop 28.11 MWp solar park and rooftop solar for its new U.S. factory
The LEGO Group announced plans to develop an 80-acre solar park and install rooftop solar panels with a combined capacity of 28.11 MWp at its new $1.5 billion U.S. factory, LEGO Manufacturing Virginia. The solar park will feature over 30,700 ground-mounted panels providing 22 MWp, complemented by 10,080 rooftop panels adding 6.11 MWp of capacity. Construction of the ground-mounted solar park is expected to commence in summer 2026, supporting the factory's ambition to source 100% of its annual energy needs from renewable sources. This initiative is part of LEGO's broader commitment to operate the 340-acre facility as a carbon-neutral site, aiming for LEED Platinum certification and zero waste from factory to landfill. The project underscores LEGO Group's strategy to integrate sustainable operations directly into its manufacturing processes and reduce its environmental footprint.
